Nearly 1.6 million autistic people relied on Medicaid in 2020. Most qualify based on disability, not income. Despite this need, under the current political climate, #Medicaid is at risk. 🧵1/4

#INSAR2025 researchers, if you actually talk to autistic people of all ages, disability profiles, and communication profiles, you'll find that a non-innate commonality is … trauma. And as this is avoidable, this is one of the root areas from which all autism research should proceed. #neurodiversity
